Verdict
Roy's Legacy carries 6lb extra for winning at Wolverhampton so it could be the turn of KYLLUKEY today. He’s been thereabouts of late and slips further down the weights so can end a long losing run. A winner at Kempton two runs ago, Barnsdale failed to cope with a 5lb rise at Wolverhampton last time while Firesnake disappointed when only fourth over 6f here having started favourite. Mighty Zip has struggled over the winter but won this off a higher mark last year and could go well.
